This year you learned to ride a bike with training wheels,
check the mail, write your name, build a sandcastle, swim without floaties,
play at a waterpark, snow ski with confidence, put on your own clothes and shoes,
brush your own teeth and hair, be a part of a classroom,
recite nursery rhymes, write and add numbers, the letters and their special sounds,
how to let berkeley in and out, how to help in the kitchen and set the table.
To celebrate FIVE
we had the girls in your pre-k class and a few other buddies over to make gingerbread houses and play. It was such a sweet party with sweet friends. The Steffens came to town and had a fun slumber party for a night, and then the next night Jim and Chic came for a slumber party too. We ordered pizza, ate cupcakes, tried out all your new art supplies, and watched Snowball Express. You opened your nutcracker, dress up clothes, art supplies, singing machine, lapboard, and more. You are such fun to celebrate!
MAE,
You are loved dearly by so many special people.
Our hearts grew the day you were born,
and our lives are richer because of each day with you.
You love deeply and care well for those around you.
You are compassionate, detail-oriented, funny, and kind.
You are sugar and spice, sweet and spunky, and oh-so-special.
WE LOVE YOU FOREVER SWEET GIRL.
